Complete record of all eliminations, tasks and other race data. Updated immediately after the show airs (Eastern time). Spoiler-free, meaning there is no mention or discussion of RESULTS from FUTURE legs. BUT I've put it behind a jump for those living in a western time zone. You're welcome!

Please forgive me.WARNING: Just in case you didn't understand the gist of the title of this post, let me remind you - THERE ARE SPOILERS HERE. DO NOT CONTINUE IF YOU DON"T WANT TO KNOW.

Up to the time of this post, on the eve of the premiere of season 5, Global has not confirmed when the Live Feeds will begin. Previous seasons have always started right after the first eviction episode airs in the Pacific Time Zone (1 AM ET the next day. Is it odd they haven't announced this, even via Arisa Cox on Twitter? Yes. Is there some reason they haven't? Maybe. Some fans have formulated a theory that it is somehow connected to the first HoH challenge, which was revealed last night on ET Canada. The HGs must work together in teams of two. What they didn't tell us is the TWIST that will determine the HoH out of the winning pair.

This kind of lack of information just makes everyone's head spin. Will it be Canada's vote? Will the other HGs get to choose? Do we get feeds one day earlier, on Wednesday night instead?

Well, the hell with that. I know exactly what's been going on in that house/spaceship.

Whatever happens, remember to have fun enjoying the feeds. Don't feed the trolls, play nice and please leave the HGs families alone on Twitter or on the FB chat.

Well, we were just introduced to our Big Brother Canada season 5 cast. So now what?Well, now the fun starts. All that analyzing. Reading the bios. Watching the interviews. Running scenarios through our heads.

Here's my two cents: a breakdown of the cast, including Pros & Cons and my Five-🚀 ranking for each. (Those are rocket ships, by the way. Or do I have to explain it to you.)

Big Brother Canada Season 5 premieres on March 15th. As excited as we all are, we can sometimes forget the consequences it has on our lives. After all, the show runs for ten weeks, and there are three episodes per week. Add in the time spent watching Live Feeds, and you may develop anti-social behaviours.

Follow along as I embark on the 10 WEEK ODYSSEY that is Big Brother Canada. I will be live tweeting the feeds. Well, at least I'm going to try. If you see me there, say hello...I'm mostly nice. Mostly.

It's become an annual ritual. Have Arisa tease the fans on social media for a week or two. Build up anticipation. And fan frustration. The problem? The silliest of rumours infest Twitter, Facebook, Reddit and every fan forum out there. But we have now reached stage one in the REAL countdown - the official press release announcing the premiere date and schedule. But a strange thing happened this year. Instead of giving the fans their yearly fix, This PR only raised more questions. Here's what we now know, along with some of my notes:

I see you. Hiding in your safe space. I know it's been scary. I know it's been difficult. After all, you have a lot of hopes riding on the presumption that you are going to be so much better than 2016. And that Trump guy in the States sure isn't helping, is he?

As revealed in a new promo that premiered in last night’s SUPER BOWL LI broadcast on CTV, in a series first, 24 finalists from across Canada are surprised with their first challenge at their homes and offices in their hometowns. Presented with a box of uncooked rice, each aspiring chef has only 20 minutes to decide what they will make, as well as gather all their ingredients, before they travel to the MASTERCHEF CANADA kitchen in Toronto.

Turning up the heat for the Top 24 this season are returning judges Michael Bonacini, Alvin Leung, and Claudio Aprile. Instead of preparing and presenting their signature dish one-by-one, home cook auditions begin on the finalists’ home turf. With only 12 coveted white aprons up for grabs, the home cooks have to prove they have the culinary skills to cut it in the MASTERCHEF CANADA kitchen, as they compete for $100,000 and a life-changing title.

Over 12 episodes of MASTERCHEF CANADA, the home cooks will have their culinary prowess
tested through a series of mystery boxes, pressure tests, and team and elimination challenges, with
judges Michael Bonacini, Alvin Leung, and Claudio Aprile providing direction and feedback
throughout the process. At the end of each episode, at least one home cook will be eliminated from
the competition until only two remain to battle it out in the finale for a chance to take home $100,000
and the sought after title of MASTERCHEF CANADA.

Season 4 will air Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET/PT beginning March 2 on CTV and the CTV GO app, with encores Sundays at 7 p.m. ET beginning March 19 on Gusto.

Amazing Race Canada 5

A little bit about me...

This whole blogging thing started when I first heard the Bachelor franchise was coming to Canada. "Geez, screw that. Someone has to make fun of this stuff," I said to myself.

So, I started. Then the landslide began. Along came Big Brother Canada and The Amazing Race Canada.

I actually don't watch a lot of TV but when I do, I have been known to get a tad....involved. Besides TARC and BBCan, I can be found in my spot watching The Walking Dead, FearTWD, The Big Bang Theory, GoT, and Outlander. Others come and go as TPTB see fit. R.I.P Mad Men and Downton Abbey.
